Into The Woods: Homes That Vanish Into Their Surroundings

Snapshot: In the Poltova region of Ukraine, about equidistant between The Black Sea and Russia, you will find Sosnovka’s Relax Park Verholy. Here, amidst a maze of trunks and needled ground, Studio YOD has crafted guest houses seemingly born from the forest.

Each lightweight metal-framed structure is set on screw base, raised a meter above the ground. This allows quick assembly of the structure without harming the surrounding landscape, especially the root systems of the surrounding pine forest. The interior is simple, comfortable, wood-based (as with the rest), but it is the exterior which is alike a mirror of the forest around it.
